Message	I have some purple top Nismo 555s that I'm reluctant to install unless there is a very good chance that switched injector power (on/off with ignition) would greatly reduce the odds of failure due to ethanol fuel use. Can anyone say with confidence that the switched power mod will keep the old style injectors alive ? I hate to let perfectly good purple tops go to waste (could sell them I guess), but I don't want to be replacing them soon either. thanks for the input.
